Yeah, it's hard... NucE is a fairly small field right now. Generally the sort of field where they just need to keep new graduates coming out to replace the old dudes retiring out...

There's a lot of hype that it might be a field with a lot of promise as nuclear energy is basically non-emitting from a carbon sense, and given that data centers are a huge potential near-term power consumer that would be well-served by nuclear. And then a potential ICEV->BEV transition that might both increase electricity demand while also smoothing out base load (since many owners charge overnight during non-peak hours).

Either way, I think he'll figure it out.
Plus, you can probably go into a lot of kinds of interviews with that degree and impress.

Due to the AP, I tested out of freshman calc and when I took multivariate, it was the class designated for the "advanced" kids.

So it wasn't just the run of the mill engineers who had completed first year calc and then had to move on. It was the nerds of nerds.

There was a 12 year old in that class. His mom would drop him off for class every day.

I think I would have preferred the multivariate calc class for the normies.

I did the same, and found myself in a weird spot. I would’ve liked to retake second semester calc just to feel really solid, but that was the engineering school weed out class, and that seemed like trouble.

So I took multi-variable and was irritated because the professor was in his own world and every day went off book because he was interested in infinite dimensional calculus (a change that isn’t that hard in theory, but not cake for the 18-year-old mind to grasp). I ground out a B, on my way to a non-stem future.

It didn’t help that I also did accelerated chem, and my future engineer lab partner showed up still drunk on three hours sleep for a Friday lab and was MUCH better at it than I.
